I understand your point Shag and it makes sense.

I thought the book was quite repetitive as well. I think Chris was referring to his articles in the London Review of Books and the New Left Review. I find it funny that Tariq Ali's brand of "anti-imperialism" can be published in the NLR month after month without no one mentioning a thing, but WBM would provoke such a stir.
